I want to tackle the great questions that humans inevitably ask. If you know of any great books, please let me know.


Answer
Lot's of good suggestions here, but you said the magic word--"great."
The Syntopicon is volumes II and III of the Great Books of the Western World, and together those volumes are also called the Great Ideas of the Western World. It is only in the library.

The Syntopicon is the most respected of its kind. No editorial comments, short chapters 10 or so pages long, references to the rest of the books in the series, and organized by TOPIC.

Under each topic it briefly describes what each famous thinker had to say on the subject, and how they influenced each other. When you read any other book, including the great Will Durant, you must read his opinion.

How to cite Aristotle according to APA?




Unknownxe


Hello.

I want to cite Aristotle's "Art" of Rhetoric but a translated version. The translator's name is W. Rhys Roberts and I obtained the translated text from Great Books of the Western World, Volume 8. The ISBN is 0852295316. How do I cite this according to APA Style both in-text and in the references.

Thanks :)



Answer
the web page (below) provides Basic Format for Books
Author, A. A. (Year of publication). Title of work: Capital letter also for subtitle. Location: Publisher.

Note: For "Location," you should always list the city and the state using the two letter postal abbreviation without periods (New York, NY).

Calfee, R. C., & Valencia, R. R. (1991). APA guide to preparing manuscripts for journal publication. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.

there are more descriptions available at the web page
